How can we stay grounded, compassionate, and open when navigating conversations around politics, religion, or other high-stakes topics? In this episode, we’re joined again by Brandie Paterakis—licensed therapist and founder of Blue Bee Counseling—for a conversation about how to have meaningful, and sometimes messy, discussions with friends, loved ones, and even our children and spouses. We talk about how she approaches interpersonal tension as a therapist, and tools for communicating when we fundamentally disagree. Brandie offers tips and steps to help us move through tough conversations with care. 

 

Thank you to Brandie for coming on our podcast and bringing her fun, lively, and practical perspective to this important topic! You can find Brandie's clinic online at bluebeecs.com
